We checked availability and pricing for a number of locations that you mentioned, as well as some others generally within the States of our service territory (in Indianapolis; Cincinnati; and Charlestown and Kiawah, South Carolina). The chart shows the places with availability, the pricing for rooms and meetings space, and distances from the airport into which we would fly. We have converted costs (excluding travel} into a per person cost, and listed the available locations from most to least expensive. Without doing the full math of air travel, flight costs would be greatest for Colorado, next would be Nantucket, with the other locations probably pretty similar because the cost is a function of total miles flown t o and from director pick-up . Those locations that did not have availability or would otherwise not work are listed at the bottom. As Debbie notes, we have a hold on the available places for a short period of time (two weeks), and should make a final decision as soon as possible. Debbie confirmed that we have no financial obligation for the reservation at Clemson, and have advised them that we will not be meeting there. Marc Marc E.

David may or may not have mentioned that these properties are on a 1 option hold for 2 weeks. This means they will hold the space and give us 1 option to reserve it within 2 weeks. Kim tells me this is high season for most of them, so we'll want to move sooner rather than later. Please let me know how you would like us to proceed.

Within 24 hours after a meeting occurs, it will be our policy to delete all annotations {subject to any legal holds that may be active) from a meeting book and also to remove the book from the briefcase (pc and iPad), the new items (iPad) and the home page (pc). We aiso request that you do not make any annotations to a book after a meeting. Books will still be available for you to access in the timeline feature from your iPad or the document tab from your pc. On a different note, we would also like to inform you of a new function we have added to our use of BoardVantage. In addition to past meeting books that will continue to be available for your access, we have also added a link to a document of each committee's past agendas (since the December 7-8, 2011 meetings). We thought this might assist you in the event you were attempting to find a particular item or document. You can click on the agenda link and review all past agendas for that particular committee. You can also do a word search within this document. Once you find the agenda item you were searching for, you can then go to the book for that particular meeting and review the related document. Unfortunately, due to the different configuration of the iPad versus the pc, this search functionality is currently not available on the iPad; however, the agendas are located in the document repository on the iPad.

Box 1009 Charlotte, NC 28201-1009 . o Jan. zo, z u i z n 9 ( 9 n i MEDIA CONTACT: 24-Hour: ANALYSTS: Jason Walls ., ii«aewt-p«soniMi» Bill Currens [Redacted - Peraonal Into; New Electric Rates Approved for Duke Energy's South Carolina Customers CHARLOTTE, N.C. - T h e Public Service Commission of South Carolina (PSCSC) today approved an increase to electric rates for Duke Energy's South Carolina customers. The PSCSC accepted the settlement among Duke Energy Carolinas, the South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff, and Walmart Stores East. "We're pleased the commission approved the settlement, which strikes a balance between the economic challenges facing our customers and the company's need to recover its capital investments," said Catherine Heigel, president, Duke Energy South Carolina "This decision enables the company to continue to make needed investments ,o deliver reliable energy to customers at competitive rates and address compliance with ever-increasing environmental regulations." Consistent with the approved settlement agreement, Duke Energy Carolinas will increase its customer rates in South Carolina by $92.8 million, with an allowed return on common equity of 10.5 percent and a 53 percent equity component of the capital structure. -more - www.duke-energy.com DURE_NCUCJ)00027 94 DUKE NCUC_00002794-A -2The average rate increase is 5.98 percent, but the list below shows the approximate increase for each customer class. The specific increase for individual customers will vary, depending on the rate they pay and other factors. • Residential - 7.1 percent increase, approximately $6 each month for customers who use 1,000 kilowatt-hours a month • Commercial (general service) - 5.2 percent • Industrial - 5.1 percent • Lighting - 5.8 percent The new rates will go into effect on Feb. 6, 2012. Additionally, Duke Energy Carolinas will donate $4 million to AdvanceSC. a limited liability company established by Duke Energy in 2004 to support communities in Duke Energy's South Carolina service area. The money will be used for grants for low income assistance, education initiatives, economic development and existing manufacturing support. Under the provisions of the revised rates, the company's current Bulk Power Marketing profit sharing allocation will change to provide 50 percent to AdvanceSC, 40 percent to customers, and 10 percent to the company. The previous formula provided 50 percent to AdvanceSC and 50 percent to the company. As part of Duke Energy Carolinas' modernization plan, the company expects two new power plants to begin producing electricity for customers in 2012. As a result the company plans to request an additional rate increase in 2012 to recover the costs of these new plants and other capital investments made on behalf of customers. - more - www. duke-en ergy. com DUKE_NCUC_00002795 DUKE NCUC 00002795-A -3The company continues to await a decision from the North Carolina Utilities Commission on its request to increase electric rates in North Carolina.

With respect to our Compensation Committee meeting, attached are the following two items. Confidential In addition to the materials on BoardVantage, we will bring the following walk-in items to the meeting: (a) the Edwardsport impact analysis mentioned above, (b) Jim Rogers' 2012 individual goals, and (c) at Beverly's request, a comparison of the number of shares covered by stock awards that were granted to each executive officer in 2011 as compared to the projected number that will be granted in 2012. With respect to Marie, we are not sure why she will be calling you, but we wanted to provide additional background on a few matters in case they come up during your conversation. We have already discussed most of these matters with you during our Committee meetings or pre-meeting calls, but we thought it might be helpful to provide another summary. This is likely more detail than you need but I want you to be prepared in the event these topics come up. Confidential DUKE NCUC 00002867 DUKE NCUC 00002867-A Compensation Committee.

In order to keep us on the same page, we have listed below the agenda items that we currently anticipate overthe next few months. June 25. This will be our last regularly-scheduled meeting prior to the anticipated closing date for the merger. We will plan to discuss the following: (1) tally sheets, (2) peer proxy analysis of key positions (prepared by Beverly), and (3) an update on compensation and benefits aspects related to the merger. With respect to the merger update, we will be ready to discuss a proposed methodology for adjusting the performance measures underthe ongoing STI plan (2012) and the LTI plan cycles (2010-2012, 2011-2013* and 2012-2014). As you requested, we will also provide an update on the HR governance matters and delegations of authority that will be approved in connection with the merger. Merger Teleconference (Early July). The new Board will hold a teleconference upon or shortly following the merger tc approve items that are required for the new company. The Compensation Committee will convene for a portion of this call, at which time we plan to ask for approval of (or recommendation to approve) the following: (1) CEO employment agreement, (2) amendment to Executive Chairman's employment agreement, (3) compensation and incentive targets for executive officers, (4) the amendment of the Progress SERP, (5) perks, and (6) HR governance matters and delegations of authority. Each Compensation Committee has already separately reviewed these items. August 27-28. As you know, the offsite retreat will occur in place of the regularly-scheduled meetings in August, but if there is a need for an in-person Compensation Committee meeting for items that should be addressed in person prior to the October meeting, we can find time during the retreat. At this meeting, we would plan to ask the new Compensation Committee to approve the following: (1) adjustments to the performance measures underthe ongoing STI ptan (2012) and the LTI plan cycles (2010-2012, 2011-2013, and 2012-2014), (2) adjustments to the director compensation program, and (3) compensation benchmarking / peer groups. Starting with the regular meeting in October, we would plan to discuss the proposed design of the new incentive plans for 2013. As you know, we anticipate that the general framework of the new incentive plans will follow the historical design of the Duke plans. Please let me know if you have any questions or additional input.

A loss for us, but seems a good opportunity for her. I recall her telling me early on that she aspired to be a general counsel and then have a shot at the CEO chair; I thought she was talking internally, but opportunity knocked. As you know better than most, this is a hazard of having high quality employees. We can put our heads together on retention plans when we chat. Thanks for the note.

Duke Energy will continue to have the benefit of Catherine's leadership until mid-June. In the weeks ahead we will work to identify a successor and share more information as it becomes available. Upon her relocation to ATC's headquarters in Wisconsin, Catherine will join the executive leadership team of a company that has a strategic relationship with Duke Energy. In 2011, Duke-American Transmission Company was formed as a joint venture to plan and develop strategic transmission projects across the U.S. and Canada. ATC was founded in 2001 as the first multi-state, transmission-only utility in the United States. The company operates a $3.1 billion transmission system in parts of Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois. Catherine's experience here at Duke Energy has prepared her well for her new role. She joined Duke Energy in 1997 providing legal support for Duke Engineering & Services (DE&S). From 2003 to 2006, she practiced law in the private sector. In 2006, Catherine joined our state regulatory group where she represented Duks Energy in a wide variety of issues before state utility commissions, including energy efficiency and general rate proceedings. In 2010 she was named president of Duke Energy South Carolina where she has been responsible for advancing our company's regulatory and legislative initiatives, managing state and local government relations, economic development and community relations. Because she was such an effective leader, we have mixed feelings about Catherine's departure from the company. DUKE_NCUC_00 0 03015 DUKE NCUC 00003015-A Please join me in congratulating Catherine on her success and thanking her for her contributions to our organization.
